Pacers assistant Nate McMillan has reportedly been contacted by the Lakers and Cavaliers about their vacant head coaching positions.

The report by CSNNW.com states that "two NBA teams with head coach openings" reached out to McMillan, and the only teams without a head coach are the Lakers and Cavs. The 49-year-old McMillan has head coaching experience with the Supersonics and Trail Blazers, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him take the reins of a franchise in the near future, but in spite of teams' apparent interest he doesn't have any interviews scheduled.

Nate McMillan is finalizing a deal to become the lead assistant on Frank Vogel's coaching staff, league sources tell Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

McMillian interviewed with several teams with head coaching vacancies this summer but eventually came up empty. He'll take the place of Brian Shaw, who was hired as head coach of the Nuggets, with the hopes of landing a head coaching gig next summer. Thu, Jun 27, 2013 12:32:00 PM

"We’re going to look at a lot of different types of assistant coaches, but certainly I think it’s important to have a former player or two on your bench to share some of the experiences that our guys are going through," Vogel said. McMillan will get some consideration for the assistant job, but he's not a frontrunner at the moment. Wed, Jun 26, 2013 09:19:00 AM

The Clippers are trying to set up an interview with Nate McMillan next week, according to the Los Angeles Times.

McMillan was supposed to meet with the Clippers last week but the meeting was cancelled. The Times reported at the time that McMillan might no longer be under consideration, but it appears the Clips might be moving on from their fascination with Doc Rivers to more realistic options. Brian Shaw, Byron Scott and Lionel Hollins have already impressed the team in interviews, according to the Times. Sat, Jun 15, 2013 10:05:00 AM

According to Jerry Colangelo, Paul George (calf) will be participating in Team USA's minicamp this August.

"It will be great to see him in a USA uniform," Colangelo said of George. "With as little as we are going to do, it’s going to be a great way to come back. It’s not a competitive camp. Really, it’s a show and a sign that you’re interested in USA Basketball and wanting to continue to represent your country in 2016." George suffered a brutal leg injury playing for Team USA last summer, but it will be great for his confidence if he participates in the camp. It should be noted that the camp is going to very light, but it's still a good sign that George is making good progress.
